This has come up many times which is why I feel those temp guages are useless unless you own a gasser. There are no published specs for temps on a 2 stroke. Also many factors can determine why it is whatever temp it is like running rich or lean, altitude and weather. Sometimes I see a guy pointing that temp guage at his engine. That is a guy I stay away from since he has no idea what the reading he is suppose to have because there is none.

Generally when the engine gets to hot, its already in the air and if it hasn't quit or lost power yet, its about too.
